The story of my life

Chapter Two

Joseph

"Where is she?" I suddenly blurted out when I couldn't hold it in any longer.

I was so anxious to se Elisa again. It's been 2 months since I've seen her and although I have heard her voice through the phone, I missed her smile and looking at her face. She's been my best friend since she first entered into this college.

" oh relax, will ya! I'm sure she's running late and why are you so worked up, it's not like she's looking forward to seeing you!" Dion shouted back as he and his "bros." were playing cards. Each time they all lost to Dion and each time they kept throwing in money, so confident that they would win but Dion always won.

"And you thinks that she wants to see your cocky ass!" I lashed him back. He had gone way to far, but he was always thought that he was the guy all the girls wanted. Not that I disagree though, 'cause if he could Elisa to fall for his worthless ass then it's obvious that, not all but most girls wanted to be with him.

"Ohhhh I hear jealousy in your voice! And to answer your question, yes I think she wants to see my cocky ass!" He replied harshly. "Fine if you're so confident, why don't you put your money where your mouth is?!! I challenge you to a card game right this instant." He said

"Ohhhh. CHALLENGE! CHALLENGE! CHALLENGE!.." His "bros." chanted.

"Fine it's no problem" I said sharply

After 15 minutes of throwing and picking up cards, I finally won the game and Dion's mouth turned from a rugged smile to an O. " H- How did..... W- what the.... heck just happened?"

Before I could even begin to reply to his question, I could feel two soft delicate hands wrapping around my waist. She had finally arrived. I turned to hug her back and whispered,"I thought you weren't coming today. I am so glad to see you."

"Yeah right like I was going to miss out on the first day of school and miss seeing you again. That's unfortunate for you 'cause I'm here so deal with it." She said as she released me.

As she released me, we both stood staring at each other. She was a little shorter than me though. Damn she was beautiful. Oh god, HELP!!!!! If I kept looking at her like this, I might reach to the point where I might do something I would definitely regret.

"Sorry to interrupt the moment but there are other people standing here that were looking forward to seeing you, you know. It's not like Joseph alone exists" Dion said suddenly ruining the moment.

"Oh sorry Dion I really didn't notice you standing over there in your stupid outfit." She replied to him making him look like a total ass.

"Anyways how was your holidays?" He asked as if he really about what her holidays were like. Pffftt he never gave two shits about anyone or anything why would he care about what her holidays were like.

"They were great but I won't go into details about it just yet, maybe later, ok psychomaniac??? She told him quickly as she turned to face me.

" Joseph can I talk to you for a minute?" She asked with her gorgeous aqua green eyes.

"Yeah sure what's on your mind, liz?"

"Joseph I wasn't going to come today I just really need a break from him. I mean Joseph I have a major crush on him and he knows it, but he completely uses me and treats me like I'm dirt. I'm sure the only reason why he was being nice to me this morning was because his girlfriend had broken up with him. I hate being so stupid for falling for a fucking dickhead like him. Joseph right now you seem like the only one I can trust please don't break it." Elisa was on verge of tears when she told me this. She had been keeping this in for a long time now and she wasn't telling anyone.

"I-I......" I stammered not knowing what to say to her because of what her life was like.

"It's ok. I understand if you don't want to hear my problems again." She said as she got off the bench.

I grabbed her by the wrist and pulled her back to the bench, but I don't know why she would think she is stronger than me and try to pull away. I gently turned her face to mine and I looked her in the eye. "Hey, hey look at me. Just because I didn't know what to say doesn't mean I don't want to be here for you." I looked down at her wrist,"Liz... Why are you cutting yourself?"

"What can I do? He uses me insults me and then laughs, even you laugh at it."

"I'm sorry Liz. I didn't know and are you telling me that you are cutting yourself over this son of a bitch?" I said while pointing to Dion, who was just sitting and gambling away his money, losing every game he played since I beat at that stupid card game.
